easiest is going to be a mini truck front axle, i wouldn't do anything else with your truck....

but technically you could make any passenger drop axle work, just gonna take a lot more work.

well if you want one bad enough check the yotayard.com they have bookoo toyota parts and axles they would have one i'm 90% sure. only prob is they are in colorado. check ebay... craigslist.com too has some stuff. if you would have caught me a month ago i had one for sale but i sold it already for $200. personaly i would keep it OEM.

And you'd pay through the nose from YotaYard... They wanted $350 for a front driveshaft from an '85. Found one in a Springs' Junkyard for $70.
